Cobbler's Song: TOM MAKEM
Mountain Dew: PAT CLANCY

Sleeve Notes (Excerpts)
Irish song and lore were eloquently represented at Newport by TOMMY
MAKEM. Steeped in the musical and poetical tradition of the Gael, he is an artist as indigenous
to his world as Big Bill Broonzy was to his. He is an actor as well as a singer; the two crafts
are juicily fused in the songs. No "prettiness", no pretense in his performance,
he reveals himself; and in a larger sense, his verdant heritage. PATRICK
CLANCY about whom all this is equally true, is heard here in "Mountain Dew.”
